EnglishWhat is d16acbl.org?
Updated
d16acbl.org is the former web address for the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) District 16 homepage. The site now functions as a redirect: the page states that the District 16 home page "has been moved" and, if the automatic redirect does not fire, offers a link to the current District 16 homepage. So if you land on d16acbl.org, expect to be sent onward rather than to find the district's live content there.
What the site belongs to
The domain name breaks down into two parts:
- ACBL — the American Contract Bridge League, the governing body for duplicate bridge in North America.
- District 16 — one of the ACBL's geographic districts, which groups local clubs and units into a regional administrative area.
District 16 is the ACBL district covering the south-central United States (Texas and nearby areas). Its site serves the players, clubs, and units inside that district.
Why the page says it "has been moved"
The only content on d16acbl.org is a relocation notice. That means:
- The district changed its homepage address at some point.
- The old address was kept alive so existing links and bookmarks still work.
- Visitors are redirected to the current homepage automatically, with a manual link as a fallback.
If you reached this page and nothing happened, use the "click here" link on the page to continue to the District 16 homepage.
How ACBL districts relate to the league
The ACBL organizes its membership geographically:
| Level | Role |
|---|---|
| ACBL (national) | Sets rules, sanctions tournaments, runs the masterpoint system |
| District | Regional administration; runs district-wide events and North American Pairs/GRAND National qualifiers |
| Unit | Local group of clubs and members; runs club-level and sectional games |
| Club | Where most players actually play |
District 16 is therefore one layer between the national league and your local club or unit. Its website is the place to look for district tournament schedules, district-level results, and contacts for district officers.
What to do if you need District 16 information
- Let the redirect take you to the current homepage, or click the link provided on d16acbl.org.
- Once there, look for tournament calendars, district officers, and unit links.
- If you are trying to reach a specific club or unit, going through the district site is usually the fastest route, since districts list their member units.
The key takeaway: d16acbl.org is not a separate organization — it is the old address of ACBL District 16, and it now exists only to forward you to the district's current site.
